Office Chair

It is time for us to mature away from the used, blue-cloth, swiveling plastic office chair mom and dad bought me when I started med school. Jimmy feels very threatened by this fact.

He is not one for change, especially when it could aversely affect his comfort. He is afraid of some high-backed, stiff, all-white antique that he can't relax and study while sitting on. Ha - his fears are probably founded in some reality...he probably expects me to pick out something completely ridiculous like this: (not that it's not cute, just that it is not practical!)

So I am on the search. I like a couple of different styles, but most importantly it must be comfortable. Above is a picture of our office as is. I want to refinish the wood from the bookshelves... either paint white or stain dark or antique... something! But, the focus here is the BLUE cheap chair. Must go. I would love opinions, more photos, ideas that you've used!

Ballard Designs has tons of great chairs - here is the gramercy chair in the white for $300-450

Here is CoverBover - at Restoration Hardware in one of my favorite chairs, Hudson Parsons, around $329.
